Margaret Rose is an extremely artistic and unique teen, and the sources of her talents are not hard to discover. Margaret is thrilled when her two beloved, yet eccentric uncles rescue her from the uptight and stuffy camp in which she is imprisoned in. She is thrilled to be able to stay at her Uncle's home for the summer. Their house is like a treasure trove of old fashioned odds and ends. However, the real heart of the place is the three looming towers that stand in the backyard. Margret's Uncles have been constructing these steel scrap and glass towers for over 45 years and are the essence of her childhood. Unfortunately, this would be the summer that Margaret discovers the city is ordering a demolition of these very towers. Margaret not only bands together with a group of unexpected allies in order to save the towers, but she also discovers who she is and what these structures truly mean to her. E.L. Koingsburg weaves a magnificent tale of friendship, family, and self discovery that I personally recommend for any teen.Ratin: 5Q, 5P
